NIGERIA
Friendly
Lineup - Uzoho, Aina, Akpoguma, Omeruo, Sanusi (Ilori), Ndidi (Etebo), Agbo (Aribo), Chukwueze (Eze), Iheanacho, Iwobi (Onyekuru), Osimhen*
Uruguay are a class above us and although we conceded 5 (7 with them having 2 disallowed) we gave them a good match and scored 3 ourselves. Uruguay are probably better than all the other sides involved in the Nations Cup so we can still be confident. Osimhen's hat-trick means he has 40 goals in 38 caps and is now Nigeria's record goalscorer.
My own player, Ignacio Laquintana, made his international debut here for Uruguay.

I expected a much bigger winning margin here but we did play well enough to score 5 or 6 in all fairness.
